I remember my boys having a go at one of the Warhammer games in a Games Workshop that we were passing, they had a lot of fun playing their little skirmish (youngest won because eldest has inherited his father's dice curse XD got told "you need to roll higher than 7" on his two dice so he rolled 2 or 3) but I am so glad they didn't get into it, looks like a more expensive hobby than cardboard crack MtG.
I think I understand the excitement of getting back into an old hobby though, I remember the feeling when a couple of years ago eldest asked me to run a game for him and his friends and we have on and off continued ever since and I've gotten that inspired I made a couple of roleplay servers though with the amount of advertising I do for them (none at all) they haven't exactly taken off XD
You going to play solo or find others to fight with? :D
